@alysonsee It's just my phone which is a cheap motorola I think it's a moto 5g. No apps or anything, just the default camera setting. I'm actually amazed it takes such good close-ups. I've tried taking pictures of plants and things before without much success, it must like the lighting near the ground!

@compostablespork@oneoddfrog@eldang looking at it I see it’s still alpha version - I think I’d be happy to set one up once it’s a bit more stable, or if you want to run it I’d be happy to set up a subdomain name for you on weirder.earth?

@compostablespork@mykola@oneoddfrog I'm so tempted to volunteer to run it, but I don't think I have enough time (given my middling level of technical knowledge) to actually be able to follow through properly.

@mykola@compostablespork@oneoddfrog my understanding is that federation support has recently been added, which is why I'm even interested at all. But the documentation is generally incomplete, which makes sense if the whole thing is in an earlier stage of development than I'd assumed.

@compostablespork Do you know if anyone else you've tried to follow is on the same instance as distel? I'm wondering if that one's been quicker than others to apply the update that made federating work....

@compostablespork@eldang@oneoddfrog oh wow I just saw that pixelfed is a PHP project and I have concerns, heh. I know it's not cool to hate on languages but PHP feels particularly dated and hard to work with, though I hear the laravel framework makes it better?
